Aegna Island Day Trip

Aegna is a small forest-and-beach island just off Tallinn — an easy summer ferry day for sandy paths, quiet nature, and a true ‘out of town’ feeling without going far.

Why Aegna Is a Great ‘Easy Escape’

Aegna is perfect when you want a break from cobblestones without the logistics of a big national park day. You get forest trails, sea air, and beachy calm — and you’re still very close to Tallinn.

What to Do

Aegna is best when you keep it simple:

  • Walk a forest loop
  • Find a quiet stretch of shore
  • Picnic and take your time

How to Plan the Day

Treat it as a simple nature day:

  • Pack water + snacks
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes
  • Bring a light wind layer (even in summer)

When you return, end with an urban contrast like Linnahall at sunset or dinner in Rotermann Quarter.

Practical Notes

Ferry schedules are seasonal and can change. Check the current timetable before you go, and plan conservatively so you’re not rushing your return.
